Subject: Very slow on big files
PDF::Extract reads the entire file into memory and then uses regular expressions to find things. This results in it taking 60 seconds to extract a page from a 160MB PDF. If it is not feasible to fix this (I imagine it would entail rewriting most of the code), maybe this limitation could be documented.
